Experience VS.. lnexperience.

1t Is matter of regret that in introducing
Hoods Sarsaparilla, its proprietors are
Obliged to overcome a certain distrust by
some people who have unfortunately bought
worthless compounds mixed by persons igno-
rant OF pharmacy. Messrs. c. l. Hood & Co.
are reliable pharmacists OF long experience
and they make no claims for Hood Sarsa-
parilla which cannot be substantiated by the
strongest proof. And We say TO those who
lack confidence, read the unsolicited testi-
monials in favor OF Hoods Sarsaparilla, and
tnen prove It's merits by actual personal test.
we are confident you will not be disappoint-
ed, put VIII md II medicine Of great value,
which can be implicitly relied upon. 100

The combination, proportion, and process
In preparing Hoods Sarsaparilla, are peculiar

getting votes two at time. Then how the

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.
Before the Inter.tate Commission.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21-The Interstste-com-
merce Commission to-day began the hearing of
the complaints ia the Standard Oil cases These
are the complaints of George Rice, OF Marietta,
o., against g number of railroads alleging
against some discrimination in favor OF the
Standard Oil Company. against others violations
of the long and short-haui provision, and against
all, unreasonable and unjust rates. Fifty or
sixty gentlemen are in attendance, lawyers and
witnesses and the proceedings are likely to con-
sumo several days. There are thirteen petitions
il all, but only ten of the cases being tried
at this time Messrs J. Randolph Tuck er,
Roger B. LOOMS and A. d. Follet appear for
complainant The railroads are represented as
follows: S. q. Noble and E. D. Baxter. for the
Louisville & Nashville; E. L. Russell, for the
Mobile g. OHIO; Holmes Cummings for the
Newport News g. Mississippi Valley and the
New Orleans Louisville & Texas; H B. Money,
for the Mississippi & Tennessee and the Illinois
Central; Edward Folston and Charles NJ. Cist.
for the Cincinnati. New Orleans & Texas Pacific;
John s. Blair and Thomas j. SPORTS. for the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, and w. Bax-
ter for the East Tennessee, Virginia g Geor-
eia The complaint against the Louisville s.
Nashville was read in full. and the points where
in it differed from the others were explained by
Judge LOOMS verbally. The reply of the Lou
lsvile e. Nashville was also read. general de-
nial is made of unreasonable charges and VIOLA
ton of the lone-and-short-haul provisions. aud
the alleged discrimination ia explained upon the
theory that the Standard Oil Company furnishes
its own tank cars, while complainant ships in bar
rels in the companys cars. thereby creating a
substantial difference of circumstances and con-
ditions The case having thus been stated upon
both sides, counsel Tor compliments began read
ing depositIous.
The Interstate-commerce Commission to-day
decided the case of E. B. Raymond against the
Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway Com
pany The complaint was that the company
had established rates a branch line unreason-
ably high, and diverted business to towns on the
main line. The answer of the company was that
the branch line rates were reasonable, but that
1t had been compelled by competition TO make
rates too low the main line. The commission
sustained the answer 20 the first defense. but
not az to the second.
